Joe Johnston has yet another update on where he’s at with his Captain America movie. Ready for it? Brace yourselves. They’re almost ready to do something!
For years now the internet has been flooded with a wide variety of Captain America casting rumors. Many of them may even have been real, some of those people could have been considered by the studio before being abandoned to go in another direction. But after all the waiting, though the movie has a director, there’s still no Cap. Johnston promises that’s about to change. Talking to Sci-Fi Wire he says, “We have a very short list, but we're still juggling actors here. I'd say within the next couple of weeks we'll have ourselves a Captain America, I hope.”
At least they’re narrowing it down. Thus far everyone from Matthew McConaughey to Will Smith has been rumored for the part. My favorite name so far though, is lesser-known John Barrowman. John first came to prominence as a recurring character on BBC’s newest version of Doctor Who, where he played an all-American Cap type (who happened to be really into kissing dudes). The character was so popular he eventually got his own series, if you’ve heard of something called Torchwood, then you know that Barrowman is the reason to watch it.
John is actually rather famous over in Great Britain, but he hasn’t really had his day yet here in America. He’s a perfect fit for the character. Yeah I know, they’re almost certain to go with a bigger name. But here’s hoping that Barrowman is at least a contender. Joe, make sure he’s on your short list.
